Located off Culebra and Callaghan Roads, Sunstone is the seventh affordable housing development born out of the 2022 Affordable Housing Bond, the release said.
Sunstone was part of a $43.7 million investment toward the West Side.
“The opening of Sunstone reflects our city’s commitment to inclusive development, ensuring that people benefit from housing designed to support well-being, stability and long-term opportunity,” said Veronica Garcia, director of neighborhood and housing services, in the release.
The community provides a number of services and amenities, from after-school programs to outdoor recreation areas, sports fields and accessible walkways.
As of June, the bond has committed just under $128 million of its $150 million allotment.
“The role of government is to put its people first, and that means investing in housing our community with dignity,” District 5 Councilmember Teri Castillo said in the release. “(Sunstone) shows what’s possible when we prioritize public good over private profit.”
